This book will initially start with the concept of Social Engineering, different types of Social Engineering attacks, and the damages caused by Social Engineering attacks. Then we will set up the lab environment to use different toolkits and then perform social engineering steps such as information gathering, generating evil files and so on. We will also explore different tools used for doing social engineering such as Social Engineering toolkit. Towards the end of this book, we will learn how to design a threat model prominent in securing our information from Social Engineering threat attacks.
